Gobernanza y estrategias participativas en la gestión sostenible del agua: un análisis sistemático

Sustainable water resources management is increasingly recognized as a critical challenge where effective solutions depend not only on public policies, but also on the active participation of local communities. The review utilized a structured methodology, including the PICOC and PRISMA approaches, to analyze relevant literature published from 2010 to 2024. The findings highlight that community participation empowers local stakeholders, fosters responsibility, and integrates both traditional and scientific knowledge for adaptive water management. Furthermore, inclusive water governance frameworks that promote transparency and cooperation among various stakeholders are critical for equitable and effective resource management. Challenges to implementing these strategies include limited access to information, technical capacity, and resistance from some sectors to relinquish control. The review concludes that overcoming these obstacles requires stronger political commitment, capacity building, and the development of regulatory frameworks that support community rights and inter-institutional cooperation.
